In this first book of the Boys of the Bayou series, we meet Josh and Tori. They meet at Mardi Gras, experience an instant connection, and promise to see each other again a year later in order to see if the feelings are real. Well a year later, Tori finds herself back in NOLA for Mardi Gras, but gets herself in a situation whenever she accidentally kisses the groom, her best friend, thinking it was Josh. So she has to work extra hard to prove the she doesn't actually like his friend and all the craziness ensues.
Erin Nichols is a new-to-me author and I am glad to have started reading this series. I love family folklore stories and this one had the recipe for a successful pilot book to a new series. It sets up the family, well who you know will each get their own books. It's hard not to love all the quirkiness of the Landrys.
I was given the opportunity to listen to the audiobook and also really enjoyed the performances of Amanda Stribling and Neill Thorne. They are both new-to-me narrators and look forward to listening to more of their work.

Erin is so good at writing swoony heroes and Josh is one of her top ones! I love Tori and her quirkiness and her love for animals. One of my favorite things about Josh is how he lets Tori be Tori and doesn’t hold her back like other in her life! Amanda Stribling and Neill Thorne are both new to me narrators and I loved their portrayals of Tori and Josh!

Josh and Tori met at a bar in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. After getting to know each other the two decide to meet one year later and still see if they have sparks. Tori comes down for her best friend Andrew's wedding during Mardi Gras and can't stop thinking about Josh. After accidently kissing her best friend Andrew and getting caught by the bride, Tori needs to prove she doesn't having feelings for Andrew. Tori now needs to find Josh and convince him to be her fake boyfriend.
I admired how different Tori was from other characters. She has a deep love for all animals and shows it throughout different stories of her life. I enjoyed Josh's family and all their quirks. It was interesting to learn how the Landry men fall fast and hard for the right woman and hearing about their big gestures. Overall, this was a cute story and I'm looking forward to getting to know the other family members.

This is a must read book! Perfect mix of laugh out loud humour, steam, and moments that make you want to shout at your Kindle. Josh is a wonderfully romantic, swoon worthy hero, and his family are hilarious. You can't help but really pull for this couple during the book, and the way Erin Nicholas writes makes this a devour in one session read!

This story is funny, sweet, and steamy. You will love this romantic comedy filled with banter, innuendos, and over-the-top characters that will warm your heart. The book is a refreshing romance about a couple who finds love fast but then waits a year and meets up again by chance to rekindle those feelings. I love the grand gestures and personalities. Josh and Tori are so different, but I love that they are outrageously over the top in their expression of love for each other and others. This story was a fantastic first book in this series, and I can't wait to read more.
This book begins in New Orleans at Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street. Josh doesn't seem to mind the baked displays as he hands beads out. He is making his way to the bar where he is supposed to meet the girl he has been pinning for the last year. I love that he seems to be a starry-eyed romantic.
Tori is supposedly at her friend's wedding, which lands her on Bourbon Street on Mardi Gras. She is best friends with the groom Andrew and a large animal vet from Iowa. We even get a quick look back at the crumbs she and Josh left for each other. I hope they meet up.
What, they don't meet up even though she shows up, ugh. Oh, they finally meet, and it is so sweet and not what I expected. Josh's family is a riot, and omg, some of the stories they tell are so romantic, if not a little crazy. I love the banter and innuendos in this book; they are amazing. The larger-than-life characters as well.
Pmt, I love how this book ends, and our bayou man got the girl in the most perfect way. The live triangle was intriguing, but I thought a little overdone. However, I can't wait to read more in this series, even with different main characters.
